Now I'm craving more whipped cream...

[MoonGod]

... I better be careful or this could become a habit.

1. Whipped cream and...

are you just dipping your finger in the bowl, or are you putting it on something, like, say, peach cobbler, apple pie, chococate brownies, or your SO?

I like whipped cream on hot fudge sundaes...yummy yummy yummy!

[MoonGod]

3. putting it on pretty much anything I can...

... and maybe occasionally sneaking a finger-lick...

... although I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't even considered the g/f yet. Good idea. :)

[Maddy McCall]

4. LOL! It could get messy...

but messy is fun, right?

[MoonGod]

6. Yes... messy is very fun...

... most people have no idea exactly how fun messy can be. I've had the pleasure of discovering that on a few occasions.

TMI? :)

[SOteric]

2. I do love whipped cream

on fresh summer fruits. Nummers.

[MoonGod]

5. I'm craving key lime pie...

... Mildly sweet fresh whipped cream with a slightly tart key lime pie.

O8)

[SOteric]

7. It's an easy and quick recipe

You just let us know if you need key lime pie data.

[MoonGod]

8. No shit? For some reason I thought it'd be over my head...

... I'm listening. :)

[SOteric]

9. Here ya go:

You need a 9 inch Graham Cracker pie shell. You can purchase them at most supermarkets. I like to make my own, but let's go with the ease for now, and we'll graduate to handmade crust another day.

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
3 egg yoks (the whites are not used by you can save them for tomorrow morning's omelet)
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice

If you can't get fresh key limes, use Persian Limes, or Nellie & Joe's. Don't use Rose's, it's not the same product.

Combine milk, egg yolks and lime juice and blend until smooth. Pour into the pie shell and bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. (No, that wasn't a typo, just 15 minutes).

Allow to stand for 10 minutes before refrigerating.

Just before serving, smother in freshly whipped cream.

[MoonGod]

10. Woo Hoo! That *is* easy...

... mmm... nummy. :)

Thanks!

[ForrestGump]

11. You are a goddess

I love Key lime pie. Food of the Key West Gods.

[SOteric]

12. !

Aww, shucks, Forrest.

[ForrestGump]

27. :-)

I made her go 'shucks.'

I'm so corny. It's true, so I ear, as amaize-ing as it sounds and as much as it may go against the grain to butter her up this way.....

Mmmmm...Key lime pie. Need. Need. Need.

13. *slobber*

My tummy would be rumbling if I hadn't just eaten some Rainier cherries. :D

[SOteric]

14. You mean that you can get Rainiers down that way now?!

Gosh, I remember a time when that was one of the best things about the PNW!

[GOPisEvil]

15. Yes, we can get them, but they're pricey!

$6 per pound, but they are worth it. :9

[SOteric]

16. Ah.

$3 a pound up here, and less at some roadside stands. Love those things. :-)

[GOPisEvil]

17. My mom grew up in Japan.

When she was a child, she didn't know there were other varieties. I was lucky, on my last visit, mom gave me some Rainiers. What a woman!

[SOteric]

18. I'm sure that's true on many levels

and in many ways.

[GOPisEvil]

19. Oh, she rules!

Even if she drives me batty sometimes. That's a mother's job, though.

She can give you chapter and verse on fascists, too. (Hint: she's not real fond of them.)

Edit - look at us - Mr. and Miss Hijackingpants!

[MoonGod]

22. Hijacking sounds so negative...

... I prefer to think of it as "free association" or perhaps simply "conversation" :)

[SOteric]

24. I like your thinking on this

There are those around here who will definitely castigate for so radical a departure of the original thread topic.

[GOPisEvil]

25. Oh, and I can't stand being castigated...

:scared:

[MoonGod]

26. Not sure how many here have spent much time on IRC...

... but I'm a regular on a few channels on EFnet. Most of 'em ban people who insist that ALL conversation must be about the specified topic.

[TankLV]

20. Just bought a 3-pack from Costco a few days ago.

Yum!

[morningglory]

21. Those squirt-cans do not have hydrogenated fats

and so convenient to tip your head up and squirt it in your mouth.

[MoonGod]

23. *shrug*... The canned stuff is fine...

... it's what I've been using most of the time. But I just LOVE fresh whipped cream. I don't see myself buying canned too often from now on.

[Catshrink]

32. Did you see Goonies?

It's a fun kids' movie from the good old 80's. In one scene, Chunk, the fat kid, pulls a can of whipped cream out of the frig and squirts it in his mouth. Unbridled joy on that boy's face! I feel the same way.

PS -- It was one of the first films Speilberg produced.

[MoonGod]

28. So I have a key lime pie in the oven... (see recipe above)

... and some whipping cream in the fridge.

Yummy dessert 2nite :)

[SOteric]

29. Nummy!!

Easy, fun and economical too. Okay, I know that healthy didn't exactly appear in the list, but all fun and no play...yada, yada.

[MoonGod]

30. Yes, yes, and YES!

Hehe... I've been getting my 5-a-day (and no, I'm not counting the lime juice ;)) and all that good stuff... so I figger I can do with some treats, too.

[SOteric]

31. I've long believed

that a few goodies in balance and moderation, are emotionally healthy.

[Catshrink]

33. Have you tried the squirty Chocolate Whipped Cream?

Just wondering how it is.... is it yummy? or disgusting?
